Dew is formed by the radiation 81
heat from the cart his surface SO that
It becomes sufficiently cool to cool
the atmosphere below the dew point.
This radiation of heat, beginning on
the earth or the sea, gradually ex-
tends to objects more remote from
the surface. The dew made in the air
finally falls back upon the earth.
Thus objects nearest the earth's sur.
face are first affected by the radiation
OF heal, and by the dew formed by it.

A stu dent of a list of marriages
from 1774 to 1914 notices a curious
evolution OF women's names. The
popular nam es among our grand
mothers were Polly, Betsy, Sally. Su-
sannah, Abigail and Mehitable. These
have now been discarded, as well as
such names as Wealthy, Love, Charity
and Temperance. The favorite names
OF to-day are such as Annie, Alice, Ma

sweet-soun ding names has already
taken place, and we are given the
names OF Dorothy, Frances, Polly,
and Sally to little ones.

who may have in his care from fifty
to a hundred pipes, varying in value
from five to five hundred pounds. The
pipes of the King and of the royal
princes are often made entirely OF fine

1t is said that eight pin manufac
tories in New England produce annu-
ally 100000 packs OF pins. Each
pack contains $3.50 Dins. which
makes a total yearly production of
$4,000. 600 pins. These pins are
usually put up in large cases, each
case containing 672,OOO pins. In
England the daily production of pins
is estimated at Is, 100000. An au-
thority on the subject says: s'The
manufacture of pins is regarded as
one OF the greatest prodigies OF the
diversion OF labor, furnishing, as it
does, $4,000 articles for the sum of
seventy-fve cents, which requires the
united diligences of fourteen skilled
operatives"
The members OF a fishing party who
returned rece My from a camp
on a portion of the battlefield of An
tietam, report that on the spot where
the Philadelphia Corn Exchange Regi-
ment met with its heavy loss in the
battle of twenty five years ago, they
found the complete skeleton of a man
and by it's side the scabbard and blade
OF an officers sword. The body was
in the midst of a thicket of young
trees, which probably accounts for it
being overlooked for SO long time.
There being no clue as to the identity
of the remains, the bones were inter-
red by the anglers, near where they
were found,
